Ambassadors and Champions Clubs

NABGC is developing
Ambassadors and Champions Clubs.

Our Ambassador’s Club is for successful and influential business, community and political leaders who believe in the work we and our members are doing supporting local youth clubs and projects in our most deprived communities.

We look to our Ambassadors to speak out on behalf of our organisation, attract support and bring influence that helps advance our mission of helping young people to thrive.

Our Champions Club seeks to bring together successful athletes, artists, performers and so on who have come through our movement. Perhaps they have been a member at one of the clubs across our movement and / or have taken part in of our tournaments.

Our Champions will provide support to the work we are doing by allowing us to be induct them into our Champions Club, supporting our events when they are able and helping us to connect with former NABGC Champions.

Current members of our Champions Club include

Steve Bunce: Boxing expert, commentator, journalist and broadcaster
Marvin Reece: Elected Mayor of Bristol”
